The Talon - April 2019

Pets, with the exception of service animals, are not allowed at any community events. Ever wonder why?

1. If one dog is allowed, then all dogs are allowed. Multiple dogs can equal multiple dog squabbles.

2. Multiple dogs can also equal multiple dog messes. No one wants to step in “dog doo” and have their fun at an event be ruined. Unfortunately, not everyone is diligent in cleaning up after their pet.

3. Many children in the community are scared or allergic to dogs. We want all of our residents to be able to participate in our community events without having to fear a dog.

4. Most of our events also involve food. Residents would like to enjoy eating without the watchful eyes of our furry friends.

Even worse, some dogs are food aggressive and can wreck havoc during a meal.

Eagle Springs, as a community, loves their dogs and other animals! However, please remember to leave your pet at home during a community event.

MEETING NOTICE Public notice is hereby given to all members of Eagle Springs Community Association, Inc. for the upcoming Board Meeting of the Eagle Springs Community Association Board of Directors. The purpose of this meeting is for the Board of Directors to conduct the business of the Association.

This meeting will take place on Thursday, April 11th, 2019 at the Valley Springs Clubhouse, located at 13555 Valley Lodge Parkway, Humble, Texas 77346.

Executive Session will start at 3:00 p.m. and Open Session will start at 6:00 p.m. The meeting will adjourn at 7 p.m. The Meeting Agenda can be accessed on www.crest-management.com. Please contact community manager, Dana Mohler, at Crest Management for any questions regarding this notice by emailing Dana.Mohler@ Crest-Management.com or calling 281-945-4643.

properties, rental properties, etc.

When reviewing the data for Eagle Springs compared to the local area data, the data reflects the Eagle Springs inventory is down. We have seen an uptick in buyer activity in Eagle Springs. Several of my listings in 1 quarter of 2019 have went under contract fairly quick due to limited inventory in the market place. With limited inventory currently on the market in Eagle Springs, it may be a great time to consider listing your home. My ranking as the #1 Individual Listing Agent in Eagle Springs; in addition to being listed as one of the Top five agents in Area 1 – Northeast Houston for the past several years; confirms my ability to assist you with a proven marketing plan providing full turn-key service to get your home sold.

Call me today to schedule a time to discuss your Real Estate needs. I look forward to the opportunity to earn your business. I am committed to getting you the best possible results in this market. I look forward to speaking with you soon, if a move is in your future.

Respectfully, Rebekah Snipp

The Pools Open Weekends in May! Do you have your Amenity Card?

How do I access the pools for the 2019 season?

If you do not have an amenity card – please gather all access cards and pool tags and visit the Onsite Office to obtain a new, single amenity ID card. All household residents who you wish to have a card need to be present to have a picture taken.

What if I do not use the pools, do I need this new ID card?

No, your access card will still open the splash pad, tennis courts, fitness center, and community restrooms. You will be unable to access the pools until this new ID card is obtained.

You can obtain an amenity card at any time of the year. Amenity cards are only issued during office hours, which are Monday through Thursday, from 1- 6 pm, and Fridays from 9 am to noon, and 1- 6 pm.

Amenity cards stay current year to year and do not require stickers to be valid. Amenity cards can be “turned off” by management should residents fail to pay their HOA dues or move out of the community.

EAGLE SPRINGS Maintenance Tips to Get Your Home Ready for Spring Prep your home for spring — inside and out.

Maintaining a healthy home goes beyond dusting and vacuuming. When is the last time you checked your smoke alarms? How about the last time you cleaned out your dryer vent? Follow the tips below to make sure your family and home are ready for a happy, clean spring season.

Clean Gutters - Grab a ladder, and check your gutters for debris. Remove as much as you can with your hands.

Remove any leftover gunk with a garden hose. Take off any nozzle and have a helper turn on the water when you’re ready. Shove the hose into the downspout to power out of gooseneck bends. Make sure your downspouts channel water at least five feet from foundation walls.

Scrub Walls, Baseboards and Outlets - Scrub all the walls — in the bathroom, kitchen, bedrooms and living areas — with a sponge or brush and mild soap and water.

This includes baseboards and outlets. Make sure to completely dry outlet covers before replacing.

Replace Filters - Replace all filters including water, range hood and air vent filters. You should replace these filters every 3-6 months depending on the type of filter you have.

Clean Faucets and Showerheads - Unscrew the faucet aerators, sink sprayers and showerheads, and soak them

in equal parts vinegar and water solution. Let them soak for an hour, then rinse with warm water.

Clean Out the Dryer Vent - A clogged dryer vent can be a fire hazard. To clean it, disconnect the vent from the back of the machine and use a dryer vent brush to remove lint.

Outside your house, remove the dryer vent cover and use the brush to remove lint from the other end of the vent line.

Make sure the vent cover flap moves freely.

Wash Exterior Windows - Pick a cloudy day and first remove the dirt with a brush or vacuum, then pick a glass cleaner to wipe down the windows. Don’t be afraid of using too much spray.

Keep Allergens Away - Keep dust, mold and pollen at bay by decluttering your home, checking pipes for leaks and keeping the air clean.

Clean the Grill - Your grill has most likely collected dust during fall and winter. Help your grill live a long life by giving a clean inside and out.

Test Smoke Alarms - Test smoke alarms and CO detectors, and change out batteries as needed. It’s cheap, only takes a few minutes and can save your family’s lives.

Clean Outdoor Furniture - Outdoor entertaining season is just around the corner. There are some basic recipe’s you can lookup online for how to get your furniture & cushions to look brand new & ready for your guests.

HKA parents hope to start discussion about impact of screen time

While I prepare dinner. For homework. So I can exercise or take a shower. To learn a foreign language. My children and teens can’t get enough. A chance for everyone to wind down. For fun!

For my sanity! There are many reasons children and teens are put in front of a screen.

Most parents and professionals agree children get too much screen time (averaging 6.5 hours a day!) yet parenting seems nearly impossible without it – but at what cost?

Eagle Springs residents and moms, Jeri Wyn Mumford, Amy Smith, Erin Bailey, and America Ririe are working on a unique opportunity for our community to start a conversation about how screen time impacts our lives and what we can do about it. Join parents and educators on April 17 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Humble High School to watch the documentary SCREENAGERS: Growing Up in the Digital Age and meet with Dr. Delaney Ruston about the impact of screen technology on kids and help families navigate in a world with instant access to screens.

Doors open at 5:15 p.m. and door prizes start at 5:45 p.m.

Parents are encouraged to bring their children and teens. Dr. Ruston will explore the use of screens in school, boys and video games, girls and social media, and the risk of addiction.

"Sit your kids down and watch this movie. Sit on them if you have to,” said Martha Adams, Chief Creative Officer for Girls Rising. “It's a must see for anyone with kids in their lives!"

Physician, filmmaker, and mother of two, Delaney Ruston turned the camera on her own family and others when she found herself constantly struggling with her two kids about screen time.

Ruston felt guilty and confused, not sure what limits were best, especially around mobile phones, social media, gaming, and monitoring online homework. Hearing repeatedly how other parents were equally overwhelmed, she realized this is one of the biggest, unexplored parenting issues of our time.

EAGLE SPRINGS Spiking up your Metabolism at any Age It is a well-known phenomenon that our metabolism declines with advancing years. Some of that has to do with declining muscle mass, and some of it has to do with decreased hormones as well as the diminishing effectiveness of the digestive tract. But at any age, whether you are north of fifty or at the polar ends of the scale, there is much we can do to maximize our metabolism and live healthily and lean.

Metabolism is essentially all of the various chemical processes that occur within that wonderful chemistry set known as the human body. We often simply use the term to describe how your body turns food into energy. As we age the metabolism typically slows down by about 5% per decade after the age of about 40 years of age, but there is much we can do to avoid and arrest that occurrence. Estrogen levels decrease in women’s bodies, causing insulin levels to rise, and the thyroid (the body’s chief metabolism regulator) to decrease its output of thyroid hormones. These changes result in an increase in appetite, which when taken with a decrease in muscle mass, leads to an overall shift in the lean body mass/ fat ratio. The shift is not in a positive direction!

To keep your metabolism at its peak and fight this decline, you must focus on your digestive tract health, and enhancement of your muscle mass with a prudent exercise regime. Detoxification of the decades of build-up in the digestive tract is a good start to speeding up your metabolism. A very beneficial way to start each day to help remove the intestinal “clog” is to drink cleansing teas, or drink warm water and lemon. Also important is to drink at least half your weight in ounces of water every day. Get your 30 grams of fiber each day, to help stay clean in your gut. Then, eat as cleanly as possible, avoid sugars, artificial colors and flavors and go by the rule if it wasn’t “food” a century or two ago, it still

isn’t. Cleaning up your digestion is a primary way of speeding up your metabolism and also ensuring your health. The old adage that death starts in the bowel is apt.

The other aspect of speeding up your metabolism and staying healthy all lifelong is to exercise. The World Health Organization advocates that we should all get at least thirty minutes per day of aerobic exercise at a medium rate and at least a couple times a week get a good 45 minutes of anaerobic or resistance training in. This resistance training is especially important to maintain the muscle mass that is crucial for strength and to support your metabolism. Muscle mass uses food energy to move you, and fat of course does not. Exercise has many other benefits including correcting cholesterol ratios, improving lung capacity, regulating blood sugar levels and reducing high blood pressure, as well as making you fit, happy, strong and balanced.
